Eating
Disorders include a range of conditions that involve an obsession
with food, weight and appearance to the degree that person’s
health, relationships, and daily activities are adversely affected.
While commonly affecting young women, eating disorders are widespread
and can impact people of all ages and sexes. It is estimated that
several million people in the United States suffer from an eating
disorder, and the statistics are growing. The number of men with an
eating disorder has more than doubled in the last ten years. Whether
a person restricts food intake, binge-eats, binges and purges, abuses
laxatives, compulsively overeats, or excessively exercises these behaviors
often are symptoms and not the problem. They often develop as a way
of coping with emotional pain, conflicts related to separation, low
self-esteem, depression, stress or trauma. Let us help you through
this challenging time.
